At least one package system solves this conflict (where the host OS does not use the GNU variant of make) by renaming the target. I.e., "GNU make installs as 'gmake'". I omitted the fact that this is a package system feature, since I thought that that was clear.

Well, as long as it's there, it saves me the trouble of doing a local filter as part of my own build. Thanks for the change for now. -- "I probably don't know what I'm talking about." http://www.olib.org/~rkr/ |
